Sender Address Spoofing
Sender Address Spoofing occurs when an attacker purports to be a known, familiar or plausible contact by either altering the email address to match a trusted contact or mimicking the email address of a known contact. For example:
- [email protected]
- [email protected] (letter S replaced with the number 5)
- [email protected] (the period replaced with a dash)
When an email is confirmed as dangerous by our Visible-IR (Incident Response) Team, the following banners may appear at the top of the email. In addition to this banner the email may be moved to either your Junk or Deleted email folder depending on the threat detected
